Question

After driving for 3 days with my new witer tyres the Tyre Pressure Monitoring system suddenly indicated that I had a puncture.

When I wanted to reset the system as described in the manual this option was not available. I think the system probably won't let me rest untill the alarm is gone.
Any idea how i can turn the alarm off so I can reset the system?

On mine I have to have the engine running in neutral, stopped before I can reset the FTM.

Yes, you need to be at a standstill to initiate the reset for the FTM (not sure how the newer TPM works) -- after you've initiated the reset, you need to drive around for a while before the status changes to "active" (or whatever it says under normal circumstances...)
